How to build SEGUES from the tiles

In 7 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's shared tile bank, and every tile is used exactly once across all seven answers. Puzzle 3's tiles for July 21, 2026 are:

AER · OBIC · ISE · ROU · GH · PAT · HF · IND · ER · SHE · RLO · CK · EL · IGI · BLE · NOV · EL · ISE · SEG · UES

SEGUES is built by combining the tiles SEG · UES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SEGUES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
